pluoghing land

[bigpaul]

John Seymour was talking about a farm or more correctly a smallholding, you need the animals firstly for their meat but mainly for their dung, however he was NOT talking about WTSHTF but about self- sufficiency, although his book is my bible it was also written many years ago, you dont need acres and acres of land for enough fruit and veg just to feed a family with,( just how much fruit and veg does anyone eat anyway?) and as for animals you dont need sheep or cattle, you could have hens and rabbits (maybe pygmy goats?)..easier to handle and you dont need huge fields, its all about scale, why kill your self trying to plough-especially if you've never done it before? if my late B-I-L- was here he would tell you its very hard work!
